The ground trembled as the colossal footsteps of one-armed Hercules reverberated through the air, his hulking frame towering over Ares and Ziona. His bulging muscles rippled with each movement as he gripped a massive tree trunk as his weapon, poised to strike.

On the opposite side, Ares unsheathed his deadly katana, ready for battle. Beside him, Ziona was in her beast form, her razor-sharp claws and fangs glistening in the light, ready for the fight.

Swish—

Without warning, Ares made the first move, dashing towards Hercules with lightning speed, his katana flashing in the light. He employed his snake-like movement technique, weaving left and right, attempting to catch the giant off guard.
